Understanding Dental Malpractice: Protecting Patients' Rights in Maine and Beyond

Spinal infections, like a spinal epidural abscess, can potentially affect one’s health severely and even be fatal. These conditions can occur for various reasons, including errors in diagnosis or an outright lack of diagnosis. Spinal infection lawyers from Berman & Simmons can provide guidance, support, and expert representation, helping provide victims with the representation they deserve.

Your Rights After Dental Malpractice: Seeking Compensation for Damages

If a dentist's negligence causes harm, you may have a dental malpractice claim. Victims can seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, cosmetic issues, and reduced quality of life due to the injury.

What are some common types of dental malpractice?

Malpractice claims are most often seen in the fields of prosthodontics (involving tooth replacement), endodontics (involving the insides of teeth), and restorative dentistry (involving veneers, fillings, and similar treatments). Here are common types of dental malpractice.

  • Unnecessary cosmetic or dental procedures or surgery
  • Failure to detect periodontal disease
  • Failure to diagnose oral cancer
  • Errors causing nerve damage to face, lips, jaw, or tongue
  • Improper sterilization of instruments and equipment
  • Improper administration of anesthetics
  • Errors in performing root canals
  • Failing to diagnose or properly treat infections
  • Other injuries to patients

Maine has strict statutes of limitations for the filing a dental malpractice complaint. This is another reason why it is critical to consult with us as soon as possible if you think you might be a victim of dental malpractice.
